What exactly is SQL Server 2005 User Mapping?

12,836

It's mapping user rights to specific databases. If you don't check any, that user won't have rights to any database unless it is in a server role that allows rights to individual databases.

    In the new login dialog of the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express, what is the User Mapping actually doing? Am I restricting access to those databases that are checked? What if I check none?
